If you would like to schedule a game. Please post in this event thread with the following information:
Name of the game, when you would like to start, The duration of the game, and the number of players it can accommodate.

Due to the overwhelming success of ChewsDay Challenge we might need to limit table space in the early evening if attendance is high and the restaurant is busy. We ask that larger-sized games be planned for 7:30 and later after Boston Pizza's dinner rush when we can spill out into the dining area, if needed, and with the restaurant's permission.  Please be considerate when choosing your table area to maximize player density. Thank you for helping make ChewsDay Challenge a success!

The Boudreau lads are coming this week. My sons are excited for their return to Chewsday Challenge. Not sure yet what we're bringing...

Going to schedule this now, mainly so I get off my ass and get the rules down.


(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1980675_md.jpg&hash=aa72a9b945ce859d25ef4d9867dc5187f4fde900)

Plays up to 5 in about 2 hours.



Two thousand years ago, the Roman Empire ruled the lands around the Mediterranean Sea. With peace at the borders, harmony inside the provinces, uniform law, and a common currency, the economy thrived and gave rise to mighty Roman dynasties as they expanded throughout the numerous cities. Guide one of these dynasties and send colonists to the remote realms of the Empire; develop your trade network; and appease the ancient gods for their favor — all to gain the chance to emerge victorious!

Concordia is a peaceful strategy game of economic development in Roman times for 2-5 players aged 13 and up. Instead of looking to the luck of dice or cards, players must rely on their strategic abilities. Be sure to watch your rivals to determine which goals they are pursuing and where you can outpace them! In the game, colonists are sent out from Rome to settle down in cities which produce bricks, food, tools, wine, and cloth. Each player starts with an identical set of playing cards and acquires more cards during the game. These cards serve two purposes:

They allow a player to choose actions during the game.
They are worth victory points (VPs) at the end of the game.

Confirmed :)

Colin, you must have read my mind because I was just thinking of asking if anyone had Concordia to bring out sometime.  Please slot me in.

Concordia Sounds like a neat game. I'd like to give it a try.

Brad and I would really like to try Terra Mystica, Dominion, or Agricola if anyone has those games and would like to play!  We will also schedule BSG for a 8:30/8:45 start for up to 4 more players not including myself and Brad (or we can play BSG earlier if someone wants to host one of the 3 games mentioned at 8:30) 

PS: if anyone signs up for BSG and has an expansion we would love to try that too!  We only have the base game.

I can bring out Agricola if you like. I don't know yet if I'll be working that day though; if I do, I'll be at work 'til 7, most likely. If you'd be willing to move BSG to an earlier spot I could teach Agricola at 8:30 to be safe. Totally up to you.

We can do that!  We will move BSG to 6:30 then and try for Agricola at 8:30.  Thanks!

No prob.

I'm going to be bringing out Myth for 6:30pm to continue into Act 2 of 'The Stone of Life' campaign. PrarieGuy and Bricktown to confirm.

Confirm

can you please sign brad up for Agricola as well?  thanks!!

Please add me to Agricola.  Thanks!

Since it was so much fun yesterday, I'm going to bring out Xia: Legends of a Drift System again for a 9pm start, plays 3 to 5 people in approx. 2.5 hrs.

Xia for me please.

I'll try xia again. This time I'llstay away from the 1-3 and you're dead areas!

Sign me up for Xia.  I never got a chance to try out my big gun last time!  :)

I'm also going to bring out a unique game I just received off Kickstarter called Creative Clash. 8:30pm (4 Players, 60 min)
I haven't played it yet, but I'll read up on it before game night. :)

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1955634_md.jpg&hash=ad18cc66a97ba855729d9fbbec37b7b180ff9034)

The graphic design and advertising industry is a fast-paced and competitive place, as any creative or developer can tell you. Creative Clash is a humorous card game that pokes fun at the industry. Players take on the role of owner of their own creative agency. They hire employees, compete to complete projects and buy lots of cool stuff in order to reach their ego goal. The first player to reach their ego goal is the winner. Players have plenty of opportunity to sabotage each other with an assortment of event cards.

A board game topic near and dear to me. Haha!  :D

Also, my friend Barry would like to come check out Chewsday Challenge.  Can you sign me and him up for BSG at 6:30, please?

You can sign me up for BSG.

Can I get in on  the last spot for Xia.  And I'm confirming for Myth.

Not trying to create confusion here, and I may have missed something, but I see that Brad and Brittani are signed up for BSG at 6:30, which is listed as taking 180 mins.  They are also signed up for Agricola starting at 8:30.  Not sure if BSG actually only takes 120 mins, and if that was just a typo?

I haven't tried Agricola before.  Can you sign me up for that one? 

Thanks,

David Cole

It looks like there's still a spot open for Concordia. If that's the case can you please sign me up for it? Thanks kindly.

You're right about the time clash!!  Thanks for pointing that out!  We won't make everyone who wants to play Agricola wait for us to be done, so we will drop out of that.  Sorry for the confusion.  If you guys are up for playing Agricola a little later just let me know! 

I could always do two games, one at 6:30 and one at 9:30, unless you want to try it on a different night? Looks like I have this Tuesday off. (I never find out until it's too late  ::) )

I don't know about the rest of the people signed up for Agricola, but I would be fine jumping over to Creative Clash.

No worries, I can bring it out and see what happens. I can usually get enough people to play.

If it's moved to 930 we would play!  But if it doesn't work for everyone else don't worry about it.  I can always try it another night too!

My friend Scott young would like to play bsg

Alright, I'll reschedule it to 9:30, that's okay. In the mean time, I'll set up Legendary Encounters: ALIEN for 6:30 in the meantime.

Agricola has been moved to 9:30pm.
Legendary Encounters: Alien is scheduled for 6:30pm.
Scott Young has filled the last spot in BSG.

Please sign me up for Legendary Encounters at 6:30, thank you.

Thanks Chad, I realize things would be a LOT easier if I got my schedule more than 2 days before my work week started.

At 6:30 pm Jason Szarkowicz will be demonstrating: Nation: Magic versus Technology. This is the complete expansion to Nation and there will be 3 seats available.

I can't make it this week. Looks like there are lots of fun games!

I will be bringing Catan Histories Germany, it is a four player game, about one hour to play. start at 6:30

Me and Jason are up for Alien if you have room for two more

Please sign me up for Catan. Thanks!

Please add me to Catan

Thanks for accommodating guys!  Sorry for all the confusion.

No problems here.

Well, I've got a sick youngster at home so we're going to miss tonight's Chewsday Challenge. 

I've got a commitment tonight so I won't be around.  Will be in Toronto next week, and on an airplane home the following week, so next one for me will be November 18...

Have fun!  See you all next month.

So sorry about the late notice but I'm no longer able to make it, tonight, so I'll have to drop out of Concordia. Hopefully you'll bring it out another time & I can try it, then.

Ah, too bad, Rob.  I was looking forward to hearing about your trip.

I'm signing up for Nation!

I'm also going to bring out the new stand alone game, Pandemic: Contagion. 8:30pm (5 Players, 45 min)
This is a learning game but it seems very easy to play.

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic2037506_md.png&hash=c35c9fecaa649c051ab231a4929956c36f3c2b9c)

After many years of trying to defeat the diseases that threaten mankind's existence, the tables have been turned. You are now the disease and guess what? There is no cure. In Pandemic: Contagion, you are competing against other diseases (fellow players) to see who can eliminate humanity. With no cure to be had, the one of you that wipes out all human civilization will come out on top as the most deadly disease ever known to man, may he rest in peace. Pandemic: Contagion includes a deck of contagion cards with differing colored borders, city cards with similar colored borders, event/WHO cards, player disease card and disease cubes. On a turn you take two of three possible actions, and you can take the same action twice. Those actions are:     Draw contagion cards equal to your current incubation rate.     Advance one of three mutations to the next level.     Spread disease equal to your current transmission rate. When the number of diseases equals the city's population number, the city is wiped out. The player who placed the final disease earns a special action. The player with the most diseases scores the population number. The two smaller numbers are awarded to those with the second- and third-most diseases. Your disease card has three mutations: Incubation (number of cards you can draw), Transmission (number of disease cubes you can spread), and Resistance (number of cubes/cards you can protect). As an action, you can advance a mutation one level by discarding the required number of cards. Event cards are drawn at the start of each round and affect everyone during their turn. You might benefit from the card or it could have a negative impact. WHO cards are always bad, but your resistance will lessen whatever the penalty would be based on its level, if you planned ahead. Mid-game scoring occurs when the second, fourth and sixth skull comes out. When a city icon appears, a new city is introduced. Once the event/WHO deck runs out or only two city cards remain in play, the game ends, with players conducting a final scoring round to see which virus is victorious.

In for Pandemic!!!!

I might be 5 minutes late for Concordia but I will be there.

Unfortunately my friend Barry won't be able to make it today, please take him off BSG.  I will still be attending.

Shane and Dajarra are in for pandemic

Going to have to cancel Concordia for tonight.


Sorry to those that signed up, but I won't be able to make it tonight.

I'm not sure who brought Lords of Waterdeep, but you dropped one of your cubes on the floor. I have it with me and can bring it out to the next Chewsday Challenge.
